Artefact 4 Evaluation

My fourth artefact was designed to see whether certain website features which have only been available since the introduction of HTML5 and CSS3 have an effect on which sites people prefer to buy their music from. I mainly used the ability to bring in any font that you desire to alter the looks of the three sites. I asked people to look at the three example web pages and then answer six questions relating to them.

I am very happy with the design of my artefact. I managed to create three mock websites with the same content that looked completely different. I don’t really think there is any way I could change the design of them to improve the set of survey results I gained.

I had sufficient time to design three web pages well and then have 30+ people complete the survey. I feel I had the perfect amount of time to get the most out of this artefact.

For this artefact I just used Photoshop to create the mock websites, after compiling the results next time I will properly create a web page in HTML5 and CSS3 in order to give the user a more realistic feel to the site.

I feel I achieved a good set of results from the survey that will allow me to move forwards with my final two artefacts. People had fairly unanimous views that allowed me to collate my results nicely and gain some good responses. Many of them also said the usage of fonts within the sites affected their decisions on which to choose, this has led me to decide to explore the use of fonts within websites further in my next artefacts. They also said they would rather download songs than listen online, this makes it easier for me to progress with my artefacts.
